The safaris are based at Macatoo Camp, situated on the western side of the Okavango Delta. Covering 17,000 km sq, the Okavango is the largest inland delta in the world, a mix of labyrinth channels, palm fringed islands and fertile floodplains.

 Macatoo, the Horseback Safari Camp, is situated on the western side of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The riding terrain from camp is scenically varied in all directions.
Typically safaris are 7-nights or longer, enabling you to experience the Okavango in depth by staying out at our mobile fly-camp - weather permitting. Otherwise we recommend a minimum of 3 or 4-nights.
|
|
We spend 4 to 6-hours a day in the saddle with groups of no more than 7 guests. You will need to feel confident about keeping up with the group, capable of riding at all paces; rising to the trot and controlling your horse at the canter.

When is the best time to come? |
|
We are always being asked "When is the best time to come?". As this is such a complicated issue with many variables such as weather, water levels and game we have compiled some guidelines to help you decide what suits you best!
|
|
Most guests reach camp by flying from home to Maun via Johannesburg. Flights to Maun normally depart Joburg at 10am so you need to ensure that your international flight connects in order to avoid overnighting there.
|
|
Luggage must be limited to a weight limit of 26lbs (13kg) per person, packed in soft bags, so as to fit on the light aircraft. Excess baggage can be stored in our Maun office.

|
DAY 1
On arrival in Maun, you are met and transferred by plane and a game drive to our camp which overlooks a seasonal flood plain lagoon. After lunch under the trees, there is usually time for a rest before the evening ride where you can get to know your horse. We return to a candle-lit dinner.
